Review Of The Xfinity
We were introspective about the Xfinity based on the app and self-install kit delivered to customers. Now we will introspect it based on its performance. There are so many fibers and cable providers. Why should one go for Xfinity? So we will introspect its performance and rate it out of five. So we will divide its performance into five categories
- Availability
- Type of internet
- Pricing
- Speeds.
- Customer satisfaction
We have divided the review so that you can get a crystal clear picture of Xfinity. We allot a star to every section. The first category we are going to introspect is availability. Where are they available and how many people can have access to it?
Availability:- It is the largest cable provider in the USA. They fall under the umbrella of Comcast. Their marketing is very strong. They are giants in this business. Now, where are they available? They are available in the 39 States of the USA.
Type of internet they offer:- Xfinity isn’t very unique in this. They offer both cable and cable. Lots of companies are trying to get into the fiber game. Like many other countries, Xfinity is minimal at this point, but it is growing. They point where they get an edge over other companies if they have the option of choosing between cable and fiber.
Pricing:- Xfinity offers net starting from 35 dollars to 300 dollars. The cheapest price 35 dollars offers Mbps speed. You can get two thousand Mbps speed for 300 dollars. So Xfinity starts from a low price and it gets expensive as the speed they offer increases. For speeds of eight hundred Mbps or seven hundred Mbps speed, the pricing is decent. It is expensive for the lowest speed and highest they offer.
Speed:- Pricing and speeds go hand in hand. We already discussed that pricing and speeds are unevenly distributed. Offering 25 Mbps does not look so good at 25 dollars. At this point in the world when people need a high speed at a reasonable price. Offering 25 Mbps to some and 2000 to some is negative. They should try to maintain the equilibrium by offering at least 100-200 Mbps at an acceptable price.
Customer satisfaction:- To look at customer satisfaction we can refer to J.D.power. J.D. power track customer satisfaction multitude of different markets in the USA. We are going to track their recent studies done on internet providers in different quadrants of the United States. In this study, Xfinity has made it to the top five internet providers in every aspect of the United States. They have achieved the third spot in the customer happiness index.
Conclusion
Xfinity has strong availability in the market. It is clearly ahead than its competitors in availability. They offer good quality internet too. The only drawbacks they have are pricing and data which they are providing. They need to bring more plans with decent rates. Customers are satisfied with services and it has made it into the top 5. But the speed they provide at prices are not decent. They should adopt more liberal policies . overall performance is good.
